Personally, I like this car a lot. Would need some more info on engine condition but there is a lot to like here IMHO: color, Euro features, condition... what say?

Ricky,

 

Looks fabulous! I want to see it do great! Oldenzaal, however, has earned several demerits for their restorations among users of this forum, users with first-hand experience. Consequently, I would want to perform a close inspection of this car to ensure it does not share any of these failings. Start with a search, on this forum, for Oldenzaal.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

My son sent me this link last night and was wondering what it might go for.  I was thinking 60-70,000 range.  Really nice example but not perfect.  I am not familiar with the Atlantic Blue color but that one looks just a little off.  Am I just seeing things or do others see it as well?

Hope it does well!  And LOVE the wheels on it!

Yes, I can see the difference, not much but I just thought it didn't look quite right.  Thanks for the picture & the info!

Yes, it is pretty cool.  I'm not an expert like the guys on this forum, so I can't speak to the color being right/not right.  Or the upholstery being stitched vs. heat-welded.  

 

I have a similar car, and I can tell you this one has the euro bits in the interior.  The gauges, steering wheel, low fuel light, radio all look right.  

 

I can't speak to the seat hinges - mine are chrome, but this is an earlier car, so they might be correct.  

 

Only thing I was wondering about is the fact that it has bumpers like mine, but it is 2400 cars earlier.  I thought it might still have the earlier versions at that vin.  This one was probably made in early spring of '72...mine was from the summer.

 

The euro cars tended not to change a whole lot over time - there were no regs driving yearly updates like here.  They also tended to change at the calendar year vs. the model year.  Model year changing in Sept is something the US gravitated towards in the '50s.  The new TV shows and new model cars were made to sync up, due to the interdependence of the two (via TV advertising).

 

Looks pretty nice to me.  The color is really classy.

My critical eye searched many of the pictures, especially underneath.  Very nice attention to detail inside and out.  Couldn't find anything that bugged me.  Beautiful "perfect" dash.  Great looking car.

 

ONE error on re-assembly.  Fuel line is missing the rubber sleeves underneath the car.  Something for the new owner to do. ?

 

If I was looking for a tii, I'd be seriously interested in this one.  If only it had a sunroof.

I have to say, when I got my car in '87, it did not have the chrome exhaust tip.  Remember, Max made that a mandatory option for the US cars.  So all the 02s here had/have them, but in Europe it wasn't as big of a deal.  It probably didn't have one originally.

 

I caved and put one on my car because my wife thought it looked better.  So there you go.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
